About Us

The HoBB is one of the very few Project Houses in the World located in an informal countryside setting where you will be given all the time and space you need, with our undivided support, to concentrate solely on your personal and business project.

At the HoBB we culture good food for thought.

Our work is to help you to produce the tools you need to communicate your thoughts, plans and projects to a specialist group or simply a wider audience. These tools are produced live, real-time, and interactively alongside your direct input.

We also host some student projects and volunteers each year who gain experience by helping us on community and charity projects.

The bottom line:As we progress your aims, we ask that you add your skills to help us progress ours. This can be through help-in-kind, sponsoring a project or making a charity donation. Through this flexible approach we are able to invest our time in supporting a far wider range of people projects.

When projects require a day or two, there are many B&B’s close by or you can crash out on the couch. Ask us for an email list so that you can book directly. If the weather’s good, you are welcome to come and pitch your tent here. (Hilly – so not suitable for Caravans or Mobile Homes)

5 more ways to interact with the HoBB Project House

Sharing skills directly with Volunteers (A global Help Exchange Project)
Many students seek the opportunity to get out-of-town and into the countryside where they can put their energy to practical use. As members of Help Exchange, we provide ten places each year for international volunteers. Applications should be made online via the HoBB profile page at helpx.net.

FREE 1Hr Taster Sessions (In support of Rural Growth Wales)
On application, we offer some free hour-long taster sessions at the HoBB most months where you can get to know us, see our work and discuss your own. These are very popular and must be pre-booked. Your hour is reserved for you. These short taster sessions are totally FREE, no matter how useful you find them. (Small print: Only one free session per person and/or project per year)

Chat Café
If you have a group, it will be easier to visit you as space is limited at the HoBB unless we take over one of the fields and shift the sheep off. Give plenty of notice – say between 5 to 7 months, and you will get into the diary.

New and existing friends with dreams
Having helped thousands of projects since 1983, we enjoy continuing to support and promote many of the personalities behind them – contacts and friends who have shared their schemes and dreams and enabled us to progress ours. The nature of some projects make them private and these are never published by us. Those published on this website are all in the public domain.

Funding HoBB Projects and making a Charity Donation
We give our spare time to many individuals and community projects with far-reaching planet-friendly ideas . This can be remote, on site, or here at the HoBB during weekends. We welcome all sorts of support for our work, whether through donation of time, facilities, funds, materials or a legacy gift to our registered charity, World of Water (Reg. no. 327188). Thank you.

Gaining our support for your charity and community projects
Whenever we can, we will give time to realise or expand your community or charity plans. We’re good at moving plans out of their thinking stage, onto the ‘drawing board’ and into the field. Organisers that come for a chat with us then go away and arrange everything themselves are the very best.

If your charity or community organisation wishes our hands-on help, and we have the time and capacity, please consider making some donation to our charity – one which matches the value you place on our work.

Good Life ‘taster sessions’
We hold special ‘Good Life’ taster sessions for those wanting to live out-of-town. We organise these for individuals, couples or small groups who make a donation to support our ongoing charity work. What you experience on a taster session relates to the time of year and the projects we are doing at the time. We always try to provide as wide an experience as we can in the shortest time.

If you would like updates on our new taster sessions use our contact page now and quiz us directly. We aim to answer messages daily during the week.

We believe that …
“We human beings are not designed to do anything except to direct our intention towards what we want to accomplish. Then, provided we continue to do this with compassion both for ourselves and the rest of life around us, sooner or later we bring into manifestation what our soul is seeking” (The late great Leslie Kenton)
